The Baltimore Sun says: No new
developments have been made in
the Baltimore Il Ohio Railroad
deal, and it has almost ceased to
be a matter for discussion on the

is confidently reiterated by persons
close to the Baltimore & Ohio side
of the negotiation that the terms
have been settled and that the de-
